Another strike against trunks...I prefer Batman to at least try to look like a creature of the night. Color coordinated trunks kind of hinder that image.

Definitely. I guess personally from a characterization standpoint I don't think a highly intelligent man like Bruce would come to the conclusion that to terrify criminals he needs to break up suit tonally, least of all in the form of underwear. What I meant by modern context is that maybe that made sense in the 1930s, but it makes no sense to me in today's time.
